The number of self-diagnosed patients are accurate than the CDC data. Those did not report findings so it's obvious if you multiply the number of cases over four days you get 44 million. The B5 variant was more contagious but not as deadly. If it has a R0 value of 18 or more this study is probably the true number of cases. The death number was also skewed. Then the media has a responsibly to release the facts, which they didn't cross reference. In June and July, I did not go outside the home unless the mask mandate was in effect. I was even more careful not to contract COVID because it was Summer here (90°f). And people outdoors were BBQ or not wearing a mask at all.
Denying coronavirus is not going to allow it to go away. My opinion is if everyone just used common sense and listened to Drs. Recommendations we only would have had a three MONTH pandemic, close the travel restriction to others who would not follow. USA leads all the countries. Not proud of that. USA has the least % vaccinated. Not proud of that either. I can move but a lot of us can't leave the States. Protect each other. 44 million got sick cuz YOU are the A-hole.
